If you are a future student, you will need to create an account on the UWA Scholarship Application portal. If you are a current student, you will use your Single Sign On.

Once you are signed in, our application system will show you all scholarships that you will be considered for. Take a look at what opportunities are available to you.

Once you are shown the scholarships that you are potentially eligible for, review the scholarship details to determine whether there are additional requirements such as financial hardship evidence, educational disadvantage evidence or personal statements.

Financial Hardship

To be eligible to apply for scholarships from UWA based on financial need you need to prove that you are in financial hardship.

You can demonstrate that you are in financial need by:

• providing your Centrelink Registration Number (CRN) when applying online; or
• completing relevant financial statements form/s that show financial hardship.

Needs Based Scholarships

Where possible, ensure you submit documentation to support your answers. For example, if applying based on a medical condition, you should provide medical certificates to support your circumstances.

Personal Statements

Some scholarships require personal statements as part of the application process. Ensure you read the conditions document to understand the required statement and remain within the word limit.

Make sure all information is accurate, true and complete.

Complete your application and submit by the deadline.

Our application system only requires you to submit one application, which will be used to assess you for all selected scholarships. You will receive an email confirmation of your application.

Please note, the UWA Fogarty Foundation Scholarship and UWA Winthrop Scholarship will require a separate application.

After applications close, eligible applications will be assessed against the published scholarship criteria and applications will be ranked by a panel in line with the individual scholarship conditions.

Scholarships will only be awarded if there are applicants who are of sufficient need or merit and subject to funding of the scholarship. 

All outcomes will be sent to applicants within two months of the published closing date of the scholarship round.  

If you have been made a scholarship offer, you will receive an email with a link to the acceptance portal. You will have 2 weeks to accept the scholarship, after this time, the scholarship offer may be rescinded.

During acceptance, you will be asked to review the general conditions and the individual conditions and ensure you understand and accept them. If you have any questions regarding this or don’t understand a particular section of your conditions, please reach out.

You can view the general conditions here: UWA Coursework Scholarship General Conditions [PDF 201KB]

The individual conditions will be sent with your offer or can be found on the scholarships listing website by searching for the awarded scholarship.

Issues viewing offers

If you can’t see the offer in the portal but you received the email, log out and log back in with the email used for your original application. If this also doesn’t work, try logging in with your student number and password.

If you are still having issues, please contact us as soon as possible through askUWA.

Before census each semester, please ensure that you have met the scholarship continuation requirements on both the general conditions and on the individual conditions document for your scholarship.

Scholarship payments
